I extremely LOATHE when people say bricked....the reason is because if your phone turns on its not bricked...you can tell because when it IS all its good to be used for is a paperweight.

when the phone is powered off i just hold the power button and the volume down. then i select recovery mode from the list.

the phone cannot load all the way to the main screen where i can acutually use the phone

But if you mess anything up and want to go back to stock, boot your phone into fastboot (power off phone, hold volume UP, power on), connect to computer, then run the file located in this thread, and you will be completely back to stock rom no root.

Why are you in rcovery when it specifically says fastboot, and then proceeds how to enter fastboot?
